Prayer for Support in Death. |
538. 7s. & 4s. M. Mrs. Gilbert. Prayer for Support in Death. 1 When the vale of death appears, Faint and cold this mortal clay, O, my Father, soothe my fears, Light me through the gloomy way; Break the shadows, Usher in eternal day; -- 2 Upward from this dying state Bid my waiting soul aspire; Open thou the crystal gate; To thy praise attune my lyre: Then, triumphant, I will join th' immortal choir.
